4 Bourbon infused wines & beers you need in your life

September is here and that means one thing (no, I’m not talking about football games, fall weather or deer season). September means it’s National Bourbon Heritage Month!

According to CNBC, bourbon sales jumped 8.1 percent in 2017, bringing the total to $3.4 billion. That’s a whole lotta bourbon. But it’s easy to see and taste why the spirit has so much appeal. In addition to its variety of price points and rich history, bourbon has the paradoxical (big word for a big month) quality of having a unique, identifiable taste, while still being infinitely palatable. It’s flavor appeals to so many people, it’s hard not to love.

Due to bourbon’s flavor profile and immense popularity, other categories are jumping on the bourbon band wagon with delicious results. Ever wonder what would happen if red wine met bourbon? Wonder no more. How about a nice, dark ale and bourbon mash-up? We’ve got that too.
